How to Load Third-Party Scripts in Nuxt.js

Introduction

Almost every modern web application is using some kind of dependency, even besides the preferred JavaScript framework.

While most of the dependencies are available through NPM, many of them also provide a link to a CDN (Content Delivery Network) version so it can be included in any project without additional efforts or build steps.

But there is also a fair amount of popular third-party libraries that don't provide an NPM package and rely fully on being implemented via the script tag. Common examples are newsletter integrations, contact forms, and the Stripe SDK to process payments.

Lazy loading of vue-router routes and common gotchas

In the previous article, we learned about the concept of lazy loading and briefly understood how webpack bundling works under the hood. With a good understanding of basics, we can see how to apply this knowledge in a real-world Vue application. The trick you will earn today could dramatically decrease your bundle size in just a few minutes. Feel excited? Letā€™s see what it is!

While mobile-first approach becomes a standard and uncertain network conditions are something we should always take into consideration itā€™s harder and harder to keep your application loading fast. In this series, Iā€™ll dig deep into Vue performance optimization techniques that we are using in Vue Storefront and that you can use in your Vue.js applications to make them loading instantly and perform smooth. My goal is to make this series a full and complete guide on Vue apps performance.
